§ Sir J. REMNANTasked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the fact that tinder the Police Regulations, 1920, the officer appointed assistant chief constable of a county force shall be the officer appointed deputy chief constable under Section 7 of the County Police Act, 1839, and ill view of the fact that under the same Act and Section the appointment of deputy chief constable is confined to officers holding the rank of superintendent, he will inquire into the action of the I Hampshire Joint Standing Committee in approving the appointment as assistant and deputy chief constable of a gentleman who had not previously held the rank of superintendent?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMAN:The appointment in question was not contrary to the Regulations, and I do not think I can take any further action with regard to it.
